I was initially quite worried about Armstrong after the Dauphiné Libéré. But I'm starting to change my mind. First, the prologue was compelling. 15 on Ullirich and 16 on Hamilton is just huge on that distance. Second, with Vinokourov out, Postal is absolutely the premier team tactically and powerfully. Thirdly, his mental state seems completely focused. This guy wants another vicotry. Fourthly, Outside of Ullrich (and granted, that's a big "outside"), Heras and Hamilton aren't bringing the same level of experience to the Tour. Finally, after the famous 2001 TdF LA fakeout, I wouldn't be surprised if LA used the Dauphiné Libéré to inspire a little false hope in his rivals. Yeah, that's baseless crappy speculation. But you never know.

Just some idle thoughts. I'm disappointed that OLN has thus far essentially ignored Ullrich. Yes, everyone loves Hamilton, but I want to hear a bit more about the German.
